  1. I had more trouble quitting smoking but did manage.

     

    Not more then a social drinker with maybe a few glasses of wine and good Jack-Coke-Ice,  not more then once or twice a month on social occasions or clubbing.

     

    The best deterrence to reduce booze was remembering the previous hangover before going out to the next party.

     

    It did help to reduce the excess of clubbing during the younger ages leading to  sometimes getting wasted, I admit 😁

     

    Society should always remember the problem cannot be solved in considering excess drinking (or even excess eating, smoking etc)  per se as the problem.

     

    The problem is rooted deeper below the subject with disfunctionnal patterns due to various traumas, stress or similar that only a proper practician can diagnose.

     

    and p.s. why all the Bob bashing really ? you don't like it, you put it on ignore. Why bash somebody who has done no harm basically ?

  2. If you are fleeing the madness of downtown NYC then definately avoid Bangkok on the whole,  for the winter break,

     

    If you like a place with non stop energy all around, are not turned off with the bustling of a lovely overpolluted metropolis, need to have everything at hand with public transport, entertainement, good food for every budget, great gals in the skyview bars, entertaining  malls for XS to XXXL wallets, the well maitained soapys, definately downtown Bangkok will be a dream.  But who am I as I do not stay all year round so it can be a different ball game from one person to another, with considerations between a snowbird stay, a 179 day stay and to settle down full time and start a full time job filling out the TM forms. 

  3. With mainly the female population,  stuck on their phones (that seem to have never ending batt. capacity), perhaps this channel of communication would identify with the norms that have become addictive to many ?

     

    But to consider what lifechanging news the PRD could relay, that is a different novel all together....

    Seems to me genetis does contribute.

     

    My mum died when she was 99, still quite active / agile and still writing well accepted content for an education website.

     

    My dad died at 70 from a massive stroke, looked about 50. Previous health checks never indicated any danger of stroke. (Prior to the stroke dad had no real health problems and his parents had very few health problems, no history of stroke). 

     

    I look about 10 years younger than my age <so folks tell me> and I regularly get check ups always telling the doctor about my dad dying from a sudden unexpected massive stroke. Check up Dr's always say no sign of stroke.

     

    We wait and see. If I die of stroke I'll send a note to AN. 

     

     

    How we all would just love finding the secret fountain of immortality in some cave !!

     

    Maybe one day Elon Musk orJ. Bezos could help that out for us..!!!

    You do know that the vast, vast majority of visitors to Thailand spend less than three weeks here, and never have to do any reporting or form-filling of any kind after their initial entry?

    You do know that the forms cirted were aimes obviously at the expats and retirees living here and who spend far more then the "quality russian or chinese" tourists ?
